Lei's Life

"No Child Left Behind" is an act published by Bush Government in 2001. It requires states to make demonstrable annual progress in raising the percentage of students proficient in reading and math, and in narrowing the test-score gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students. Most educators and parents complain that the act is an ambitious law and forces states to move faster and further to improve the achievement of every student.

Today I saw a documentary about this act. I am thinking about this problem. I am here in United states to study early childhood education. I try to find good qualities of their education system and a good way to combine them into our country's education system. But now I find they are trying to learn our Asian style---standardized tests, high scores and learning more...that's ridiculous!Well, the students grow up in Asia are good at testing, they are smart! However, most of them are poor in creativities, they lose their curiosities in learning... What a pity they don't have these good dispositions!! But as you see, what are Bush Governments doing now? They are copying Asian styles!
